That post is pushing the limits on getting personal here. FYI.

I think I read it just fine. You make fun of global warming. Global warming even NOW is causing human suffering. You don't need to be an English teacher to draw an inference over that one. You may not have meant to make that implication- but since it's obvious that in places like Bangladesh and Africa global warming is already changing weather and creating human tragedies, then when you mock GW you mock human suffering. You really ought to differentiate what you're mocking. Flooding of low lying areas is already happening. Droughts and famines- already happening. Perhaps - giving you the benefit of the doubt- what you mean to mock is the way certain GW folks are trying to "sell" global warming to get people to act. But if that is what you are trying to do, you might want to make your message a little clearer. "LOL - how about agricultural runoff? What other ills of man kind can be blamed on GW?" LOL? I guess I just don't see your joke. Since global warming is related to runoff (something you never address in your posts) not only are you laughing at something that isn't funny, but I also happen to be correct.
